Kaplava horse riding route: Circle via Kaplava (20 km)
About 7h long horseback riding trip via Kaplava and unfamiliar spruce forest in the Latvian-Belarusian border area. I will not lie if I say - mysterious, dreamlike and a bit eerie… in the snaky road of unfamiliar spruce forest which in the first stage looks never-ending. But there is the end! It opens to a view on the wooden farmsteads built in the beginning of the last century, forgotten luxury and today’s reality. You will gain a real insight into the cultural history of the small villages of Latgale: Lielborne, Veckaplava, Vecborne and Kaplava. Enjoyment of the nature park “Daugavas loki” (Meanders of Daugava) landscapes, including a visit to the Veckaplava Russian Orthodox church. Visiting the complex of wooden buildings that has gained a status of state significance for its value of historical heritage. Visiting also Borne Evangelist Lutheran church, house and buildings of Vecborne baron Engelhard.
